92-year-old man smashes into 10 cars trying to get out of parking lot

Police in the US say they are thankful no one was seriously injured when an elderly man smashed into 10 other vehicles while trying to exit a shopping centre carpark.

Security footage of the incident, which occurred last weekend, shows the 92-year-old, driving a dark grey minivan, reversing slowly out of his spot in the Piggly Wiggly carpark in Mayville, Wisconsin.

After reversing, the man rolls forward again, and then, with a sudden stab of acceleration, he smashes into the two cars in front of him, sending one of them flying back into a third car.

The third car rolls backwards, almost clipping a driver passing behind, then hits a pickup truck in the next bay.

Apparently panicked, the man then reverses – at speed – and slams into another two cars on the other side of the carpark.

Finally he finds drive and careens around to his right, smashing the front off a hatchback, which bashes into the van parked next to it.

The man then comes screaming around the corner and smacks into the side of a large red pickup truck with a load in the tray, the driver of which gets out immediately and chases after the errant driver.
